The Merriweather Council Podcast - How to avoid self sabotage this holiday season

One cool thing about the ridiculous amount of time it took to get season 5 of the merriweather council podcast out the door is that we are publishing episodes a bit later in the year. And that means it's timely and relevant for me to share holiday related dialogue with you! And you know that discussing the many things that are involved for handmade business owners at holiday time is one of my most favorite things.

If you've spent any time around here, you know that I regularly remind makers throughout the holiday season to refrain from getting too caught up in the comparison game when other makers start posting about how many orders they've got going out. You can actually hear that pep talk here // https://www.merriweathercouncilblog.com/2018/12/holiday-pep-talk/

Just as important as not going around the internet comparing yourself to others is being really honest with yourself about how much is realistic to YOU. This is a metric that can only come from you.

That's what today's episode is about and I genuinely hope it helps many of you make better decisions not only for your business but for yourself this holiday season!

Enjoy!

In this episode I chat about:
  • Why blogging works
  • ... but why it doesn't have to be an every week thing in order to work for you.
  • How to reap the benefits of blogging without being a "blogger."
  • A simple way to create blog content for your handmade business.
  • An example of a blog post you could write that has the potential to go viral and reach hundreds of new, interested prospects

Here is an example of a blog post I wrote that targeted my ideal customer for my hoop art that reflects the ideas outlined in this episode. This post still brings traffic to my blog and shop even though it is a few years old!
